"Apple views each version of the App Store as a distinct online platform under the DSA, and only the iOS App Store may qualify as a [very large online platform]. Nonetheless, Apple intends, on an entirely voluntary basis, to align each of the existing versions of the App Store […] with the existing DSA requirements”
